Mass Effect: Andromeda Will Be Out in Early 2017

EA said in an investor call that the fourth Mass Effect game, Mass Effect: Andromeda, will be released during the first quarter of 2017, which spans from January to end of March.

That period represents the fourth quarter of EA’s financial year – which begins April, ends March – and blockbusters earmarked for this period typically come out as close to the end of March as possible. This allows maximum time in development while keeping the release within the financial year, but there’s no absolute guarantee it won’t be released earlier.

Mass Effect: Andromeda tells a story in an entirely new area of space, and one entirely separate from commander Shepard. But there’s still a lot we don’t know about it. What we do know about Mass Effect: Andromeda can be best surmised in the video below by EuroGamer.
